With the help of his Bassett Hound and his son, Joel quickly built his business by getting out into the community and meeting people. Not one who likes to sit still, Joel’s outgoing and personable approach quickly enabled him to pursue real estate as a full-time career.

Testimonials

“We worked with Joel and Jenn Brenner this summer to sell our house in Webster and find and purchase a very different house in Webster. They did an outstanding job for us in a very dynamic market and we are super satisfied with their service. Extremely knowledgeable, great customer service and fun to work with. They helped us maneuver through one of the big inevitable snags that happen in real estate transactions and we are very pleased with the results.”

David K.

We worked with Jenn Brenner on the Joel Svoboda team and she was absolutely amazing! We were first time home-buyers so she took the time to explain the process to us, was incredibly responsive whenever we needed her, and so helpful throughout the whole process. It took us three offers to finally get our home and she was outstanding throughout it all. Not only did she help us in finding our home but she made the closing process a breeze. Would highly recommend Jenn to anyone!

Emily C.

Jenn and Joel know the area well and were there for me when I wanted to see a property. Jenn did a great job alerting me of “coming soon” homes in my desired area. They made the whole process very smooth and seamless from start to finish. I’m very pleased with them, and my new house!

“Joel Svoboda is a fantastic realtor. My wife and I worked with Joel to buy and sell a property in Lafayette Square in 2005 and we were so pleased with his service that we worked with him again in the fall of 2010. Through Joel’s extra efforts and follow through, he sold our house within 6 weeks. Joel is professional, personable and truly an excellent realtor. I would highly recommend Joel.”

Nathan N.

”I have actually just had this agent a few months back to purchase a home and again last month to sell a home. His expertise was greatly appreciated. After following his instructions my house sold in ONE day! It has been so long since I had sold a home I had a lot of questions and he was always very responsive and in a very timely manner. Thank you Joel!”

Joshua

“Joel has sold 2 homes, and bought 1 house for me. He was able to get very close to asking price on one house for me in 2008 and asking price on the other in 2011. He excels in knowing the process, negotiation skills and is also very knowledgeable in staging your house to get it sold FAST! I would definitely recommend Joel to friends and family.”

Terry

“We moved from out of state. Joel was very professional, timely and knowledgable. We found a great home in a great location for a great price!”

Charity R.

“I highly recommend Joel for his enthusiasm and knowledge regarding the housing industry, his hard work and diligence as an agent, and because on top of all of that, he’s just a very personable and pleasant person to work with. We will continue to sing his praises to anyone currently looking to buy or sell their next home!”

Client A.

“We left the home agreeing that we had to switch agents, so the very next day my fiance contacted Joel to let him know that we decided to use him as our agent. We never regretted the switch. We found a house about a week later, and got it at an amazing price! Joel was always prompt to respond to our many questions (seriously – We had a million questions throughout the process since this was our first home) – He was always available by phone, email and text whenever we needed him. Joel was great …

Client B.

“I met Joel when my fiance and I stopped into an open house randomly, as we were just killing time after visiting another open house nearby. At the time I already had an agent to help me in my housing search, which I also mentioned to Joel when we met him. Knowing full well that I already had an agent, Joel provided me with a list of some houses nearby that were in my price range, and even took the time to show us their locations on his iPad. He was just very passionate about the real estate bus…
